ABOUT THE ARTIST
Escaped New Jersey and went to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Left Pratt and hitchhiked to Chicago. Spent some time taking classes at AIC. Wandered around. Worked on painting while holding down odd jobs – short order cook, house painter, etc. Got job at WMAQ as graphic artist and worked there for some years while doing my own work, and being mentored by my art director, Jack Hakman, who became a lifelong friend and mentored me to the end of his life.
